Despite renewed attacks in the region, the US administration confirmed Thursday that Washington and Tehran continue to work toward a diplomatic solution to their conflict.

A government official told the German News Agency (dpa): 'The United States remains committed to finding a solution, and technical talks are ongoing,' noting that the behavior of the Iranian leadership constitutes a breach of the framework agreement at an 'unacceptable level.'

In the same context, Axios reported, citing a US official, that the administration of President Donald Trump remains committed to finding a solution, and that technical talks are ongoing with the aim of reaching a nuclear agreement.

Failure to perform at an unacceptable level

But the official stressed that Trump's position on the recent Iranian attacks is clear, saying the US president expressed his position 'without any ambiguity,' and that the attacks on commercial ships constitute 'acts of terrorism.'

He added that the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran is based on performance and commitment, deeming Iran's actions as 'a failure to perform at an unacceptable level.'

The US position comes after a major military escalation, during which the United States launched waves of strikes inside Iran in response to attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran retaliated with attacks on US sites and bases in the region.

90 Iranian military targets

The US bombing killed 17 people and injured 93 others in Iran over two days, despite the memorandum of understanding signed between the two sides to stop the conflict, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Health.

US military officials said about 90 Iranian military targets were hit in the latest strikes, which targeted air defense systems, missile storage sites, and drones.

However, Iran accused the United States of targeting civilian infrastructure, including bridges and the railway line connecting Tehran and Mashhad (northeast). The strikes also hit the 'vicinity' of the nuclear power plant in Bushehr province (south), which had been struck before during the war, according to an Iranian official.

Trump had announced Wednesday that the memorandum of understanding with Iran 'ended,' before later revealing Iranian contact with Washington seeking a deal, indicating that communication channels remain open despite the military confrontation.
